welp, I disagree it wont work, haha
Yes, there is inductance that will resist the cemf, but there is nowhere else it can go, it cant shoot its voltage up like an open circuit would do.
here is a simple ind and fet, nothing else, the cemf shoots up till the fet breaks down at ~30v (blue trace), you can see the coils current discharge through the fet for the fet avalanche duration (green trace), red trace is gate.
In the second picture I have both fets running and the diodes installed.
red gate,
Blue drain,
green ind current,
yellow 2nd inductor current.
In the 3rd picture, I moved the yellow current probe to the diode connecting to fet1 drain diode, showing the current transfering to the 2nd ind.
I think I need better control of the gate freq and delay turning on the fets to allow the ind energy to transfer to the other ind before turning on the next fet.
